Still were often told  "seek and you shall find"
 So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind
 Looking everywhere  haven't found her yet
 She's the big affair I cannot forget
 Only girl I ever think of with regret
 I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
 Tell me  where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?

 There's a somebody I'm longing to see
 I hope that she turns out to be
 Someone who'll watch over me

 I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
 I know I could always be good
 To one who'll watch over me
 Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
 To her heart I carry the key
 Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
 Oh, how I need someone who'll watch over me

 There's a somebody I'm longing to see
 I hope that she turns out to be
 Someone to watch over me

 I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
 I know I could always be good
 To one who'll watch over me

 Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
 To her heart I carry the key
 Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
 Oh, how I need someone to watch over me
